Default Re: CISSP Anyone?

I passed the CISSP several years ago. At that time there were no prep guides. There were a couple of sites that were gathering whitepapers, etc and I used that as study material. I must be personally responsible for printing through a small forest. One site I still go to occasionally is cccure.org. Lots of good material.

Like one other responder said, it is a mile wide and an inch deep - though it seemed like a foot or two at times. Comparing it to CCSA that I took yesterday it tremendously broader, but even the questions I had on encryption were more copmplex than those on the CCSA. You had to know that DES was a 56-bit algorithm and that MD% was a 128-bit hash.

I waould suggest that you get your hands on as many different whitepapers from many different sources and read, read, read.
